Week 12 in the garden, and it's time for some serious plant pampering! The ladies got a trimming fit for royalty, and even a leafy lollipop treat – because who says plants can't enjoy a little sweetness in their lives? With the flipping of the plants just around the corner, it's like the calm before the botanical storm. I can almost hear the plants whispering among themselves, "Get ready, folks, it's about to get real in here!" As I prepare for the flip next week, I can't help but marvel at how far my green companions have come. From tiny seeds to leafy giants, it's been a journey filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of growth. So, here's to Week 12 – a week of trimming, lollipops, and anticipation for the flip. Stay tuned for more leafy adventures as we enter the next chapter of the garden saga! 🌿🍭

♥️☺️♥️ Thinking about when exactly to harvest... Buds seems keep growing now... I know I should wait a bit more but.. I think I will. ☺️♥️☺️ 👉 27th of september 2021 / DAY 64 👉 Buds seems to keep growing on the top to top direction. 👉 28th of september 2021 / DAY 65 👉 MAX 26.9°//64% MIN 21.9°//40% 👉 29th of september 2021 / DAY 66 👉 WATER + CITRUS DROPS : EC : 0.3 / p.h. 6.4-6.5 / 22.0° / 9 Liters Run-off (first 10-20 ml about): 3/3 : [x] [0] [0] : EC : 1.2 / p.h. 6.6 / 21.7° --> Added more drop off to reach : 0.7 E.C. 1/3 : [0] [x] [0] : EC : 2.0 / p.h. 6.0 / 21.0° --> Added more drop off to reach : 0.7 E.C. 2/3 : [0] [0] [x] : EC : 1.2 / p.h. 6.8 / 22.0° --> Added more drop off to reach : 0.8 E.C. This was their last meal 😭😵 👉 30th of september 2021 / DAY 67 👉 Pistils are pretty much brown, I can see some brown trichomes and mix of milky and white. I deciced to make A DWARF ESCAPE tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day, Tomorrow I will harvest. Tomorrow orcs will die ! According to my lovely (I definitly love them) breeder informations : 👽Flowering time: 6 - 7 weeks 👽Harvest Month: 9 - 10 weeks after sprouting. I am at week 6 of flowering, but week 10 after sprouting. So I should be in the good range. 👉 1st of october 2021 / DAY 68 (1 day later could be more sexual) 👉 Everything has a start, a first time, and 1.10.2021 was perfect to end my first harvest. You can read the harvest page. The murder (the escape sorry) of the 3 dwarves happenend around 4 p.m. or 16h00 in an unknown place full of dark but with no pain (almost).

Day 50. Its last day for Autos outside, tonight indoors will be a bit less crowdy ;)) They stretched like hell, but i hope to take under control indoors. Whiteys are smallest, but fastest to flower, Diesels are huge and in full bloom, Lemonade OG still in preflower mode, but they will be massive ;)) RQS pot is pure pain. Cookie is duckleafing, curling, now fading, they didn't liked that training for sure ;))) Even Gorilla bit unhappy and still very bright. Day 52. Change of plans again... One girl indoors went hermie, so till all run is finished and tent properly washed, can't bring any plants in . Cookie is started to make leaves like rocket not weed ... pure pain in the @ss......

I'm just giving them water until finish now. Not long left, I am checking the trichomes daily!

*1/30 (Week 2 Flowering) Removed most of the nutrients - Only feeding Lotus (CarboFlush) Raw Npk (Silica) & Element (Flower Fuel) for the last couple weeks before harvet - Running her on 12/12 light cycle - Terps coming in nicely - Buds are getting more and more dense.

Buenas noches familia, os prometo que os deje lo mejor para el final, esta semana podéis ir despidiéndoos, ya que me parece que va a ser la última semana ✂️. Cambie de teléfono y las fotos son increíbles. El olor de nuestra indica es BRUTAL, huele muy fuerte a cítrico , tiene una pintada terrible, estoy deseando tener estas flores secas. Los cogollos brillan a la vista por una capa de tricomas... se nota sus 18% de Thc. Es una cepa que es 100% válida para proyectos SOG. Genética cruzada con Chemdawg x Lemon Thai x Pakistani Kush. -realizamos un estrés hídrico: Lo cual es regar las últimas semanas en el mismo periodo de tiempo, pero reduciendo las cantidades de riego progresivamente. Zambeza a hecho un gran trabajo con esta cepa y no hay más que verla... 👏

Week 8 Growing gradually, healthy. All plants are enlarging; forming structures with lot of branches. Just a difference around 5/10 cm height between the 4 strains. The biggest at this point are the Break pad Breath and the Flash Back#2….the GMO x Zombie Kush is beautiful too. ?I’m questioning about a 2nd topping? Daylight 15h43 : 6h13/22h Bad weather conditions during June: rainy, cold, poor luminosity, with just a few sunny days. The greenhouse is a good solution this days: less humidity with ventilation. Plants are daily controlled for Pests or diseases . Sprayed Neem oil 1 time - mix manure: horsetail (prêle), comfrey (consoude), fern (fougère), nettle (or tie) 1 time. I suspect the presence of “leaf miner flies” around. Low feeding: just roots stimulator and enzymes. I sprayed some fish mix 1 time on all plants.

7 Diciembre: Se cambiaron las plantas desde la carpa de vegetación(120x120) a la de floración(150x150) en dónde hay más espacio para deshumidificador, ventiladores, etc. Se sigue regando con 6.2pH y 3.0EC. Pronto se agregará una malla scrog. 10 Diciembre: ya hay claros signos de floración, se colocó una primera capa de malla scrog, el riego Generativo va como se planeó, con pequeños runoff llegando a 7EC, esperando subir hasta 10EC, con ese estrés controlado se mantienen las plantas en una altura óptima evitando que estiren mucho. Hasta el día de ayer, las plantas estaban con 5 disparos(riegos) de 200ml cada uno aproximadamente, hasta obtener runoff, hoy sin embargo, habían 2 plantas con "wilting" lo que indica drybacks excesivos, por lo que hoy se agregaron 2 disparos extra, también llamados P1, y 2 mini riegos de 100 ML en la tarde, P2, para evitar el secado excesivo y el decaimiento de las plantas, las cuales están pidiendo más nutrientes. El VPD se mantiene en 1.2~1.4.

I absolutely fall in love with Gorilla Strawberry! Amazing strain ! I see 5-6 phenotypes 1. Is small indica dominant with very fast flowering 2. is dark purple I have never grown a strain with such a beautiful dark purple my favorite 3 is very resinous with big buds and looks like the main photo of Gorilla Strawberry on fast buds web site 4 Is with bright pink pistils 5. Smaller plant with very thin sativa leaves and very thick main cola 6 is a giant sativa dominant with very broad branching, which is just starting to throw flowers and I guess it will grow for at least 11 weeks Compared to Gorilla Zkytllez seems to me Genetics is a bit volatile However, they have one thing in common with a crazy amount of resin and a wonderful sweet fruity scent. I can not stop sniffing buds very pleasant smell I feel like a junkie :D I could sniff this all day But there is one minor problem for me . While one phenotype begins to bloom and needs Bud Ignitor for a larger number of flowering sites, another could be ready in about 2 weeks and needs overdrive to compaction the flower... When I compare phenotype number 1 and phenotype number 6 looks like a completely different strain, the only thing they have together is a large amount of resin and a wonderful smell. But that's just a problem with my growing style, because I mix fertilizers in a big bucket for all plants equally and I don't have time to mix for each one separately Finally, there is a photo of a thick stem that I probably burned when watering with fertilizer

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering. I read an article a few years ago that said: If you force flowering for 3 weeks, you can put it outside after the summer solstice and it will keep on flowering. So, it's been a month since the summer solstice and this plant is going on to it's 4th weeks flowering. According to the article it should keep on flowering and not switch back to veg. This article was written for the Netherlands and where I live is below that latitude near the 48th, so they should keep on flowering. I saved a bit of pollen from my summer pollination run (see my Runtz Mintz Cream diary)and I'll be pollenating a branch, on this plant, this week, for future seeds. The plant is doing good. I see it's just starting to show some resin. I see lots of white stigma's, meaning... this plant will have big buds. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

It's been 47 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

Overall a great plant to grow. Some hardships through the beginning with the not so great nutes. Definitely worth a grow. The only thing is the length that this plant took was just absolutely crazy! For an autoflower I was expecting harvest 2-3 weeks ago. From seed to harvest it took 110 days.

Buds are coming in nicely all things considered. Had very high humidity around the 70% range which was stressing me out so I added the Hydrone 5 from AC Infinity and it worked like a charm getting humidity in the low 40% range. However I created the perfect storm as my set up is in my garage and at times the temperature is severely affected by outside conditions. My area currently just had a bit of a heat wave so with the added temperature plus the added heat from the new dehumidifier my tent was averaging 35 degrees Celsius for a few days. Cooked a lot of my lower fan leaves so major defoliation was done to take out any of the fan leaves that took some pretty severe heat damage. We grow and we learn lol. Very resilient strain though taking all my rookie mistakes like a champ and pushing forward with some nice buds coming in. Here’s to a strong finish. This is the way

These are in good shape, the purple candy paint is short but bushy I might have to give her a booster seat. The mac x's are the biggest and most promising.

Day 127 - Watered/fed today. About 180 oz of water given, with 1/2 tsp Bloom, 1/2 tsp Mag Pro per gallon. It is anticipated that this is the last feed, and will be given water only, the next 2-3 feeds before harvest, to flush/fade the girl (come on autumn colors!). I happened to be searching a couple buds and found my first 3 amber trichs on a calyx. The final countdown has begun! Day 128 - Nothing to note, I was lucky to be around enough to get the photo. Day 129 - I feel like there has been some new calyx development over the last few days, but I am still going with my plan to flush 2-3 times before a harvest. I feel like if I was properly set up, and honestly stocked with current flower, I could probably let this thing go another 3 weeks (rookie grower thoughts), but I am still looking to harvest in 10-12 days. Talking to a few different people, ran a few ideas past me, but I think I am going with my plan for this first grow. Someone mentioned one more big bloom feed before a flush, but I think I'm just ready to be done feeding. The idea of 24 hours of darkness before harvest to 'boost trichs' was brought to me by another person, and I am still unsure of my thoughts on that plan. Day 130 - The 'flush' has begun. Today the plant was given 2 gallons of water, which is almost 50% more than was given with feed, as she had been getting 180oz or so of water. You can really tell the difference in the amount of runoff! Lets see how long she takes to really show a fade. Day 131 - I got nothing for today. Snapped a pic and bolted out of the house. Day 132 - Again, sadly, I got nothing for today. A picture and out the door. Day 133 - 11 weeks of flower are down. She was watered today, with another 2 gallons of water only. I added a small amount of new Mother Earth Coco Peat to the pot, in my mind, just to ensure that she doesn't fade out too quickly. Probably a bit unnecessary and may not help, but I did it anyways :) I originally planned on chopping likely at the end of this weekend, but I might see if she can hold out 2 more water only feeds, and chop next Thurday-Friday, at the end of the 12th week. I keep checking a few buds with the loupe, and still can barely find any amber, but also don't see any clear trichs. Either way, I am going to be anxious for this last week to finish up, then the real test of waiting will come, hanging and curing!

This week is going good for the beach ball I noticed some nice growth coming in and started LST for the mini pot growth is not as vigorous will most like start feeding next week just to prolong it a little longer this is definitely a experience can’t wait for the next week!

Temps were hard to control this week due to a heat wave and the fact I'm in a basement with no AC. I put the fans in the tent on too high a setting pointed right at the plants and they ended up with some wind stress which can be seen in the pics affecting the new growth. Bought a 6 inch inline fan to beef up the exhaust for the tent and this seems to have helped a lot. I moved the tent to its final location to allow access to ventilation so I can pipe the smell outside when the flowering starts. I started low stress training on both plants this week. I decided not to top either plant but I will for the next grow to see how it affects yields. I also fixed the other viovsun tent that had a broken zipper track and only one slider. Hopefully I can use it in the future for flowering photoperiod plants.

Au 27ème jour, la strawberry Gorilla se porte à merveille. Je suis convaincu qu'elle présente un phénotype indica, étant donné sa forme plutôt compacte. Il est difficile de ne pas remarquer la nécessité d'attacher les branches... J'attends maintenant avec impatience de voir la préfloraison se poursuivre et l'étirement de la plante perdurer, en espérant une multiplication des sites de tête. Engrais : je continue à utiliser un mélange comprenant du seaweed, de l'humic, et un booster à moitié dosage recommandé, sans ajout de NPK.
